How To: Maximize Your DPS as Dragoon

[LongNu]

Parses = Fact.

Parses are far from 100% accurate and for what it's worth, I've already used the faulty mechanism to gain my results by testing both rotations. Therefore...

Your Satisfaction = Nothing.

I'm satisfied with what I've found, unless I was specifically shown otherwise. Which I have not been up to now.

Until then, the best we have is theory-crafting...

I agree.

you keep using that word, etc etc

Because it's true.

There has been nothing to otherwise convince me other than trolling, name-calling and useless untested schematics. If that's 'proof' then I must be rudely mistaken.

To be fair that's incorrect usage of the word "schematics". That's pretty much the only useful thing I can add here.

I fail to understand how parsing is inaccurate.

All of your information from FFXIV is time-stamped, this includes damage.

A parser takes that damage, including dots and spits out a total dps.

There is no data, unless the parser cannot add, that can be mis-construed.

Even if dot damage was cycled differently, your DPS wouldn't change because it's still over a time period.

Ultimately, I fail to see how a parser cannot add.

I'm also not calling you names, simply saying that until you put forth evidence -- There is no fact to base this theory on...You know, a lot like UFOs are real...Just sayin.

The parsers themselves aren't 100% accurate in terms of recording information. This isn't speculation, this is actual fact that can be tested in game right now. Take a friend and parse yourselves against a boss, a dummy, a mob or whatever and you'll see for yourself. Some of the results shown in comparison to my other field testers have been wild and inaccurate to what was shown on my parser. We used the same parser with wildly different inconsistent results. For what it's worth, however, I have used this faulty mechanism to gauge my DPS using the rotation I presented and the other(s) in the other thread and this one has proved more beneficial for me (Higher DPS) in every situation and circumstance. Be it 30s, 3m, 7m fights.
